Brooks would not have received a win bonus had he overcome his 3.5-1 underdog status.

Gall, meanwhile, made just $30,000, with half of his paycheck coming via win bonus.

Interestingly, heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic made only $100,000 more than Brooks for successfully defending his throne against Alistair Overeem in the show’s featured attraction. Overeem scored an event-high $800,000 in defeat.

Please keep in mind, the numbers that get reported to the athletic commissions are only of what’s required. These figures do not include deductions for items such as licenses and taxes.

Additionally, they do not contain sponsorship money paid by Reebok or any bonuses from the UFC. These royalties can include pay-per-view commissions, Fight Night bonuses, top secret discretionary bonuses, etc., which can oftentimes represent a substantial portion of a fighter’s total income.

It is unknown if Brooks received any piece of UFC 203’s PPV pie given the WWE crowd he brought along to help boost interest, but it’s highly unlikely.
